You clearly support solar in Arizona. Come on out this Wednesday, November 13th, for a public rally near downtown Phoenix to show your support in person. There will even be live music!

RSVP here: http://act.credoaction.com/event/arizona_solar_rally/3252/

The Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) is set to vote by Thursday, November 14th on whether to add a tax to rooftop solar. Their decision-making process begin on the 13th, and we need to be there to tell them, ‘NO! Don’t tax our solar!’

I’m going and will even arrive early morning on Wednesday the 13th to make sure I can get into the hearing room to testify.

Join me & hundreds of others as we send a strong message in support of solar to the Commission. RSVP at http://act.credoaction.com/event/arizona_solar_rally/3252/.

Thanks, see you at the ACC!

Brooks Maschmeier

PS – Can’t make it to the rally? Call the Commissioners on Monday or Tuesday and tell them to not tax solar. Go to http://act.credoaction.com/call/rooftop_solar_arizona/ for phone numbers.

Soon, the Arizona Corporation Commission will decide whether or not to impose a new tax on rooftop solar power installations in Arizona that could devastate our state’s solar industry and leave us hooked on dirty fossil fuels. Arizona’s largest utility, Arizona Public Service, is promoting an outrageous plan that would punish people with rooftop solar installations by charging them an additional fee each month.

Governor Brewer: No Tax on Rooftop Solar
http://www.credomobilize.com/petitions/tell-governor-brewer-don-t-tax-solar

Governor Brewer hasn’t weighed in yet, but the Residential Utility Consumer’s Office, part of her administration, has proposed a monthly charge that would effectively crush rooftop solar.

NOTICE OF NO CONSENT TO TRESPASS, SURVEILLANCE AND RADIATION POLLUTION, NOTICE OF LIABILITY, ADHESION CONTRACT

Dear APS and all agents, officers, employees, contractors and interested parties,

If you intend to install a “Smart Meter” or other digital utility meter at the above address, you and all other parties are hereby denied consent for installation and use of all such devices on the above property. Installation and use of any activity monitoring device (AKA “smart meter”) is hereby refused and prohibited. Informed consent is legally required for installation of any surveillance device and any device that will collect and transmit private and personal data to undisclosed and unauthorized parties for undisclosed and unauthorized purposes. Authorization for sharing of personal and private information may only be given by the originator (me!) and subject of that information (me!). That authorization is hereby denied and refused with regard to the above property and all its occupants.

So-called “Smart Meters” violate the law and cause endangerment to residents by the following factors (often facilitated via analytical software):

1. They can individually identify electrical devices inside the home and record when they are operated causing invasion of privacy.

2. They monitor household activity and occupancy in violation of rights and domestic security.

3. They transmit wireless signals which may be intercepted by unauthorized and unknown parties. Those signals can be used to monitor behavior and occupancy and they can be used by criminals to aid criminal activity against the occupants.

4. Data about occupant’s daily habits and activities are collected, recorded and stored in permanent databases which are accessed by parties not authorized or invited to know and share that private data by those who’s activities were recorded.

5. Those with access to the so-called “Smart Meter” databases can review a permanent history of household activities complete with calendar and time-of-day metrics to gain a highly invasive and detailed view of the lives of the occupants.

6. Those databases may be shared with, or fall into the hands of criminals, blackmailers, corrupt law enforcement, private hackers of wireless transmissions, power company employees, and other unidentified parties who may act against the interests of the occupants under metered surveillance.

7. So-called “smart” meters are, by definition, surveillance devices which violate Federal and State wiretapping laws by recording and storing databases of private and personal activities and behaviors without the consent or knowledge of those people who are monitored.

8. It is possible for example, with analysis of certain so-called “Smart Meter” data, for unauthorized and distant parties to determine medical conditions, sexual activities, trade secrets, physical locations of persons within the home, vacancy patterns and personal information and habits of the occupants.

9. So-called “smart” meters – and digital meters – cause, by intentional transmission and/or incidental disruption of house current, cancer-causing electromagnetic radiation to be emitted in proximity of the installed location and property in violation of laws against public endangerment, assault and commission of bodily harm.

10. So-called “smart” meters are designed to transmit using microwave radio transmissions known to cause cancer and many other diseases, illnesses and symptoms.

11. Your legal easement to my property does not include easement for a microwave transmitter or any networking equipment. Any such installation will be considered a violation of private property and an illegal “takings” – in other words, trespass and theft.

I forbid, refuse and deny consent of any installation and use of any monitoring, eavesdropping, and surveillance devices on my property, my place of residence and my place of occupancy. That applies to and includes so-called “Smart Meters” and activity monitoring devices of any and all kinds as well as digital utility meters in general. Any attempt to install any such device directed at me, other occupants, my property or residence will constitute trespass, stalking, wiretapping and unlawful surveillance and endangerment of health and safety — all prohibited and punishable by law through criminal and civil complaints. All persons, government agencies and private organizations responsible for installing or operating monitoring devices directed at or recording my activities, which I have not specifically authorized in writing, will be fully liable for any violations, intrusions, harm or negative consequences caused or made possible by those devices whether those negative consequences are justified by “law” or not.

This is legal notice. After this delivery the liabilities listed above may not be denied or avoided by parties named and implied in this notice. These terms and conditions apply without regard to status or existence of any so-called “opt-out” contract. Civil Servant immunities and protections do not apply to the installation of so-called “smart” or digital meters due to the criminal violations they represent.

Notice to principal is notice to agent and notice to agent is notice to principal. All rights reserved.

Sincerely,

Your Name Here With Your Signature Above It

Cc: Your Lawyer’s Name Here followed by Esq. (this makes you look like a “tough customer”)

How can I measure radiation from wireless Smart Meters?

You can hire or purchase a meter. A professional measurer is helpful but can be expensive. http://www.es-uk.info/docs/20110111_products_services.pdf
